After losing her parents, a date with her boyfriend goes terribly wrong when she finds her boyfriend cheating on her with a werewolf. He forces a bite on her, and 18-year old Layla Gibbous is forcefully removed from everything she once held dear and is tossed into a new life at a school for the wolves of the night, Alpine Crescent Academy. 

As she learns more about her new abilities, she feels like she is being watched from the shadows. When she keeps running into a mysterious and devilishly handsome man comes on campus, Layla can't help but get close to him. If he is the one in the shadows - is he here to protect her or hurt her? 

At the academy, she is taught more about the history and the two warring factions of wolves: Nestati and Vosak. Can she stay out of the fight? Or is something more at work here, like fate?

Alpine Crescent Academy

The four of us spread out, forming a circle within the raging battle. Rees brushes himself off and stands as though he has no care in the world, while the rest of our gazes flicker between all of us looking for any signs of the next attack. My eyes shift to Ryker more often than the others as I feel an uncontrollable need to see him take his next breath and see that he is alive and still here. Ryker's gaze is still a bit wild and unfocused as it swings around us.

"I hear you in here," Ryker says, and I flinch as he bangs a fist against he side of his head. A deep sense of unease starts to roil through my gut. "You tortured me."

With effort, I pry my gaze from Ryker and swing it to the demon. She grimaces and looks quickly at Rees to her side before answering. "Only a little."
